The hardware does not need to be old or heavily used.
My 1T external USB/eSATA 'Backup drive' has developed un-accessable/unrepairable folders (Right where I put the last backup of my Library) . The drive is disconnected between use (lots longer than it really should

)
Neither Windows nor Mint can repair the filesystem. 'Hardware fails'
